The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

"Have you heard? The Prince of Zhenbei has been dismissed from his post by His Majesty for disrespecting the emperor!"

"Of course I know. This matter has spread so widely that not only us, but also the other three imperial dynasties have already heard the news."

"Didn't you see this morning? As soon as General Hongming of Northern Wei heard that the Prince of Zhenbei was no longer in command, he immediately attacked. I wonder if our Great Qian army can hold out..."

"Shh! You two are courting death!" someone suddenly whispered. "His Majesty has explicitly forbidden anyone from discussing the Prince of Zhenbei... oh no, I mean Chen Nan. This morning, two groups of people died because of this. How many heads do you have?"

The moment these words were spoken, the road fell silent.

A horse-drawn carriage slowly drove by.

The curtain was drawn back, revealing a handsome man with striking features and an otherworldly air.

"Young master, where are we going?"

"The Northern Wei Dynasty".

"Giddy up!" came the coachman's soft shout.

The carriage sped along, the scenery desolate.

Hongming of the Northern Wei Dynasty is one of the four great generals of our time.

With a sharp fighting style, it excels at large, sweeping attacks, making it like a butcher's knife on the battlefield!

And he really enjoyed slaughtering prisoners!

In her time, everyone who heard of her was terrified.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have named her after the ancient, fierce sword!

What's even more astonishing is that such a fierce and bloodthirsty person is actually a woman!

She was also the only female general among the four. And a seventh-rank martial artist!

Martial artists are divided into eight ranks, from first to eighth. Above the eighth rank are Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Extraordinary, and Legendary.

Hongming had actually reached the seventh rank, so one can imagine how strong he was!

Apart from Chen Nan, who was confident, no one else in the world wanted to go up against her!

It should be known that among the major states today, the Great Qian Dynasty is the weakest!

Before Chen Nan appeared, the Great Qian Dynasty had no generals who were in a class of their own!

Of the four great generals, two were from the Northern Wei Dynasty, making it the strongest military power!

Chen Nan was not among the four famous generals!

As everyone knows, there is one god and four generals in the four continents.

Chen Nan is that "god"!

He surpassed the four great generals who were in a class of their own, and was known as the God of War!

He single-handedly strengthened the Great Qian Dynasty.

When he was dismissed from his post, Hongming naturally took action.

I wonder who else in the court can rival Hongming?

Thinking of this, Chen Nan shook his head slightly and sighed, "My disciple, let's see how you handle this."

……

The Great Qian Dynasty.

Report! The Northern Wei army has captured a city!

"Report! The Northern Wei army has captured another city!"

On the golden dragon throne, Wu Fengluan's face was ashen, and her eyes blazed with fury like a volcano.

"What are you all good for?!"

"A bunch of idiots!"

"In just five days, the Northern Wei forces swept through our territory like a whirlwind, capturing two of our cities in succession! They took five thousand of our soldiers prisoner, not to mention countless livestock!"

Are you all really that incompetent?

Your Highness, a group of courtiers stood trembling with fear, their heads bowed lower than the last.

There were also several military officers in blue robes, their faces even darker, who turned their heads to one side.

At this moment, Jiang Hai, who was standing with his head bowed beside the dragon throne, rolled his eyes and said:

"Your Majesty, the forces facing Northern Wei this time are former subordinates of Chen Nan. It's possible they harbor resentment, or perhaps they are acting on Chen Nan's orders and doing this intentionally!"

"Otherwise, how could the Great Qian army, which has always been a powerful state, have suffered repeated defeats and lost to its defeated enemy, the Northern Wei!"

"In my opinion, to suppress this trend, we must kill them as soon as possible!"

These words caused even greater silence in the hall. Wu Fengluan seemed to be deep in thought and did not refute Jiang Hai.

One of the generals in the green robe scoffed coldly upon hearing this.

"Lord Jiang, what are you saying? Former subordinates? Chen Nan used to command all the troops of our Great Qian. If that's the case, then all the military generals of Great Qian are his former subordinates?"

"Exactly!" the other generals echoed, their faces showing displeasure: "Does this mean we should kill all the generals of the Great Qian Dynasty?"

As for the matter of being defeated, Northern Wei was indeed no match for Da Qian, but that was when Chen Nan was in power!

Without Chen Nan, Hongming of Northern Wei didn't take Daqian seriously at all!

This is a known fact.

But ironically, no one dared to say it!

Nobody wants to offend the emperor!

It was obvious, after all, that the emperor was wary of Chen Nan and had dealt with him.

And who dares to speak out for him?

Everyone knows it.

“Your Majesty, with the great battle array in front of us, how can we kill the general? Even if we kill the general, where will we find a replacement in time?” said an old man, the head of the civil officials in red robes.

Wu Fengluan nodded slightly: "The Grand Tutor is right."

Jiang Hai's face darkened when he failed to achieve his goal, and he gave a forced smile.

Seeing that the emperor was still somewhat rational, the Grand Tutor pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and sincerely said, "Your Majesty, if it really comes to that, the country must come first. Even if we were to invite Chen Nan back from seclusion, it would be the best course of action!"

These words shocked everyone present.

All the officials knew that this was the best solution, but it was precisely what the emperor found most offensive!

Who would risk their life to offer advice?

As it turns out, the Grand Tutor will succeed!

Even Wu Fengluan's expression changed, instantly turning as still as black water.

"Does the Great Qian Dynasty not need to fight a war even without a mere Chen Nan?"

The emperor's sharp gaze questioned the officials.

Just then, another announcement came from outside the hall:

"Your Majesty, the Northern Wei have captured another city!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wu Fengluan was so angry that she laughed instead, about to unleash her raging fury, when the soldier who was reporting spoke up again.

"Anything else to say?" Wu Fengluan sneered. "Or has Northern Wei captured another city? They might as well have all the generals of this battle commit suicide as an apology!"

The soldier tremblingly stretched out his hands and said, "Your Majesty, General Hongming of Northern Wei has a letter to present to you."

Wu Fengluan said impatiently, "Bring it up!"

The letter was opened, and thoughtfully included the Great Qian Dynasty script.

Wu Fengluan only glanced at it before her eyes started seeing stars. Enraged, she slammed the letter onto the ground.

But the paper pieces floated away lightly.

Jiang Hai, relying on his status as a close advisor to the emperor, stepped forward without any scruples and opened the door. Upon seeing it, he was also terrified and stood frozen in place. Looking at Wu Fengluan, his face turned green.

The Grand Tutor thought it was some military secret and was about to step forward to offer advice when he picked it up and took a look, but he was stunned.

There were only two lines of text on the pristine white paper.
